Get a used Thinkpad and never look back, look for 8-16GB of RAM a semi recent i5 or Ryzen 5 with like maybe 6 or more cores and maybe 256-512GB of SSD Storage. Make sure it doesn't have a realtek wifi chip and you'll be pretty much fine

Thinkpads

#

durable, realiable.

#

They also come with great screens, even touch screens

#

Awesome for coding and general use

#

(not the best for gaming)

#

if you only want to learn programming then use a cheap laptop

#

and use linux

#

for the maximum taste of programmimg pain

#

and use arch distro of linux

Great Keyboard with Backlight but a basic Full HD 60FPS screen

You should not use laptops for programming, a ruled notebook is best. You can use multiple ones for different languages/frameworks.
